The house, designed by architect Cliff May and built in 1940, features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and 6,200 square feet of living space.
The property also includes a horse stable, a guest house, and a garage for three cars.
It has been reported that the actor is going through a difficult period, currently living apart from his wife, actress and singer Jennifer Lopez. He had been living in a rental house near his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
The Affleck-Lopez couple recently put their Beverly Hills home, which covers 38,000 square feet, on the market for $61 million, a residence they lived in for just over a year.
Lopez, who has been seen house hunting in Los Angeles, recently sold a penthouse in New York for $25 million and still owns a house in the Hamptons, purchased for $10 million more than ten years ago.
Rumors of the couple heading toward divorce have been circulating since May when Lopez appeared alone at the MET Gala. They have not made any public statements about their relationship and continue to wear their wedding rings.
